अनात्मज्ञो हि दुःखेहः प्रस्फुरन्नपि भूतले ।
शव एव भ्रमत्युच्चैरात्मज्ञस्तु सचेतनः ॥ ५४ ॥

anātmajño hi duḥkhehaḥ prasphurannapi bhūtale |
śava eva bhramatyuccairātmajñastu sacetanaḥ || 54 ||

The unspiritual man is tossed about on earth as a carcass, and is consumed with the fuel of his cares, as a dead body is burnt away by the flames of its funeral fire; but the spiritualist knowing the nature of his soul, is only sensible of his immortality.
